You can use cross compiling as Martin wrote or you can call fpc
remotely.

Both machines must use the same paths. For example remote host
has a folder /home/user/pascal, containing FPC, Lazarus and your
projects. Then mount that directory via sshfs in your local host at
the same path /home/user/pascal.
Create a script to call FPC on the remote host. For example:

remotefpc.sh:

#!/bin/bash
ssh user at host cd "$(pwd);" /usr/bin/fpc $@

Test it :
./remotefpc.sh -v
./remotefpc.sh someunit.pas

When this works put "/path/to/remotefpc.sh" in Project / Project
Options / Compiler Options / Compiler Commands / Compiler instead of
the default "$(CompPath)".
